And if Hoffa gets his way, US consumers will experience a punch to the gut. Protectionism and "Buy American" is fundamentally incompatible with affordable cons

And if Hoffa gets his way, US consumers will experience a punch to the gut.
Protectionism and "Buy American" is fundamentally incompatible with affordable consumer goods. Hoffa's way will lead to you only being able to afford a new smartphone once every 20 years. Televisions will become family heirlooms because you just can't afford to buy a new one. Hope you like the outfit you're planning on buying, because you're going to be wearing it for years.
I value the modern American lifestyle.
